Dear All,
I �ve recently got a private message from a user who openly admits he �s a student. He asked me to send him one of my worksheets via e-mail. I have very mixed feelings about it. First of all, asking for printables is not fair and second of all, he �s a student.
Should we do anything about it? What do you think about the whole situation? I guess it �s not an isolated case...
Best regards,
Marta

I don �t think the occasional request for a worksheet is a big deal - it �s entirely up to you if you send it or not. This is a sharing website and we get a lot of students on here asking for help with language problems, for example. I find it more annoying when the request for worksheets are posted on the forums - by teachers. It might be more difficult for a student to create worksheets but I feel teachers should at least try. YMMV

Hi Marta,
Don �t know what to tell you...I was also requested twice to give a specific worksheet. I thought they were colleagues....but one of them never thanked me. Perhaps it was not a teacher. How can we know who is really asking...?
Best regards
a Isabel

Lindsey,
Because he �s a student I sent him the worksheet. But I still
think that this website is not an ideal place for students. I reckon we
can �t forbid them entering the community. I hope you see my point.
Best regards,
Marta

Can you imagine if all our students ended up here asking for help?

Welcome to
ESL Printables,
the website where English Language teachers exchange resources
I have students all day long - and need a place where I can exchange ideas with teachers. That �s my opinion.

Hi Libertybelle,
That is my concern as well. However, since it happened for the first time, I decided to help the student. I aslo cited the intro in my email to him.

I feel the same way as Libertybell.
This site was made for teachers to exchange ideas and work. |

I, too, prefer that the site remain open to teachers only.
